Its predictable plot and clichéd elements. While lacking originality, it is also comes with typical jump scares, try to creating an eerie atmosphere. Performances are decent, but the dialogue feels unnatural. Despite its flaws, it delivers passable horror entertainment for those seeking straightforward thrills.

The cinematography enhances the ominous atmosphere, though the characters and dialogue fall into familiar territory. Overall, it's an okay choice for a movie night at home.

It you are looking for mind bended or unique storyline, then this is not the movie you are looking for. The lack of suspense is quite disappointing.

To be honest, I did not fear this movie at all and the story was also useless and I could not understand anything in the end. We can make a theory but it is a boring film. Only children of 5-9 years of age will dare to watch this film. So If you want, you can watch it and spend your money. Money is no big deal but it would not be a waste of our time. It is nothing very special but it seemed like a movie to me. I was useless, brother. If you look at it, it will be good and yes, some other scans in the background were good but also, if I felt like it was a low budget, I could have made them good but.

The problem with Indonesian and Hollywood horror is their over-dependence on ineffective, predictable jump scares. Atmospheric horror is something the Indonesian have always failed to execute, despite the country's rich cultural tradition and beautiful landscapes.

The lazy use of conventional camera angles is almost as disappointing as the wheat flour on the ghosts. It is almost as if the film-makers aren't horror fans at all.

Story-wise, from the get go it was a bit too obvious, with the nosey ladies bickering over widowhood. Lela being tasked with cleaning the corpse completely unaided also does not reflect the reality of a typical Southeast Asian village-what happened to fardhu kifayah and gotong-royong? There's always that one monosyllabic, antisocial guy/gal to inject a feeling of mystery, and I'm really really tired of seeing this.

The only fresh element is how the evil spirits were portrayed to seem unfazed by the quranic verses and loud chanting of the mourners; a trope more commonly seen in western horror films. I imagine this would create some form of controversy among the more conservative audiences in places like Malaysia.

At least Indonesia is moving away from softcore porno in their horror films.

Another disappointment, unfortunately.

There's a noticeable void in quality horror films these days, but this movie stands out as an exception. While the plot might become predictable within the first 40 minutes, the real thrill doesn't lie in the storyline but in the timing and unconventional camera angles that create genuine fear. What I crave in a horror movie is the feeling of being truly afraid, yet so many modern films are far too predictable in how and when they attempt to scare the audience. However, this director masterfully crafts each moment, delivering fear with precision and meticulous attention to detail. That's All!!
